the students want to raise $20 total. if they have 19 pennies and the rest in quarters how many quarters would that be
-------------------
Let the number of quarters be "x".
Value of those quarters is 25x cents.
--------------
Equation:
25x + 19 >= 2000 cents
25x >= 1981
x >= 79.24
Rounding up: x = 80 (# of quarters)
